Sanders urges turned-off voters to turn out for Clinton

"It's about equality. And Bernie has been about that for a long, long time". His campaign performed most strongly in "open" primaries and caucuses, where independent voters could play without registering as Democrats.

"We have an opportunity to elect one of the most qualified people who ever endeavored to become president". When the crowd started into one last chant of "Ber-nie!" the senator interrupted, determined to pass the torch.

The first recommendation that Sanders made to get the country "where we want to be" was a massive program to fix America's "crumbling infrastructure".

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will once again hit the campaign trail in OH this weekend, as Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton looks to improve her poll numbers in the important battleground state.

But other Clinton supporters believe the best advocate may be Michelle Obama, whom they want in battleground states as much as possible between now and Election Day. It dispatched Bernie Sanders to OH where Trump is now edging out Clinton according to multiple polls.

Sanders, formerly national press secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign and now another Clinton surrogate, told me why so numerous kids are over it: "Millennial voters are exhausted of what they're hearing from Democrats and Republicans". Elizabeth Warren will emphasize Clinton's plans for community college and in-state public university tuition breaks this weekend.

Next Gen Climate is using the polling to advise Democratic strategy in eight swing states, including Ohio.

To be sure, Sanders is no Trump fan. The Vermont senator is urging supporters to back his former primary rival instead of staying home or supporting a third-party candidate. And he said Friday that voting for a third-party candidate for president in 2016 would amount to a "protest vote". Littman said while the organization was excited to endorse Sanders, YDS rarely focuses on individual candidates. That is particularly crucial for younger supporters who have less of a history of voting.

And, he noted, the only way that the progressive agenda has a shot at being implemented is with Clinton at the helm and that grassroots force as her guide. An off-putting tone-deafness made young voters not want to engage with issues they would otherwise care about, and did care about when Sanders was on the stump. "We're gonna reach out/ for Teachout/ everybody/ join along", a band member sang. "That one said he's for Trump", she told no one in particular.

But there were plenty of reminders of the challenges facing Sanders as he tries to herd his coalition into the Democratic tent. "I was a Bernie Sanders fan. I like her college plan, I think she has a lot more of a positive vision than Trump", said KSU student Mike Pissos. "If he jumped in the race I'd support him". I am inspired. For eight years, I have had the privilege to see what it actually takes to do this job.

"I came here because I'm still for Bernie", she said.
